She’s calling people to acknowledge the existence of reality which won’t go away just because we ignore it. No wonder Fox and Friends are terrified.

I agree on those points. Harris’ positions are too far away from Warren/Sanders to be a good advocate for the more progressive positions.

I’m a trans woman who has seen the attacks on my community ramp up over the past couple of years. When you say “maybe we could scrap identity politics”, I hear “maybe you should hush while we discuss what I consider *real* problems.”

Exactly. I was taken to task for suggesting a Biden/Warren or Bernie ticket with: “Yes, but those Vice Presidents would still be “too old too.” Yes, they would all be in their 70s, but we aren’t seeing that kind of decline in Warren and Bernie. Also, they actually want to win. Biden’s heart (and mind) isn’t in it. We…

How, in even this fucked up reality, do you defend the statement that the President of the United States is not a public official and still maintain any credibility whatsoever? I’ll save you the trouble: you can’t.

There are also the violations Trump engaged in with Guiliani by attempting to cover it up.

Well, you had some fun there being pedantic as fuck when the whole point is that he did something that should get him thrown out of office, regardless of whether he’ll do time for it or not.

They are fans aka in a cult. End of story. I hate Bernie so much because he foments this crap with his silence.

“Nobody in the Ukrainian government would be considered a ‘public official’ under that act and neither would the President of the United States.”

The thing is, the original report was not a “leak”. It was a complaint made by a career government official (probably in counterintelligence) through the proper legal channels for making such a complaint.

LOL

If Trump actually threatened to withhold congressionally-allocated military aid to the Ukraine in exchange for actions that would help his election campaign, he is in direct violation of 18 U.S.C. § 201, Bribery of Public Officials: you can’t accept anything that benefits you personally in return for an “Official Act”…

I’m not here for any of the excuses. I say: ‘Make it up to me. Make it up to us.’

I just wanted to contribute a Trump apologist explanation for this. Some of you may recall that I have a pro-Trump friend who believes in him wholeheartedly. She drives me nuts, but her perspective comes in handy at times like this.

Yeah there’s this weird crossover area between trump supporters and Bernie supporters, even though their platforms could not be more different, where I guess uneducated white jerks can worship at the altar of a charismatic older white man. Nothing else will do!

This is totally par for the course for Bernie’s supporters, a cohort of edgelords for whom politics has become a tribal bloodsport, yet paradoxically have nothing of substance at risk with any of these elections (save their egos). They will gleefully shipwreck this country and all our futures in the name of…

Bernie's schtick attracts a certain percentage of weak-minded fools who formed some type of cult of personality around him. Which is fucking dumb because Bernie has done NOTHING but say we need an entire movement and he is NOT the solution to everything.

The World Series MVP should actually have gone to whichever rain god decided to interfere in Game 7.

Boston's was fairly long-lasting. I think a lot of the issues the Cubs have are due to Joe Maddon being over-rated. That 2016 had insane talent and great timing and Maddon still almost blew game 7.

Seems to be going around. When the Dodgers clinched I kept hearing that the Braves had won the East 15 times in a row- neat trick, given that they were in the West until ‘94.
